Chicago: The Eponymous Thread

i am now waiting to hear back from a bank i applied at!

Awesome, todd.

Just keep repeating that you'll be fine.

I stayed at home and rewatched a bunch of Freaks & Geeks today.

xpost, nice

LSD sucked up until about 47th, then the wind was blowing and the snow was drifting so a lot of people just stopped, which made it so much easier to go around them. :)

1. Youngish kid taking up two seats for sleepin' on a train so crowded people couldn't get into the doors.
2. Youngish kid wakes up, recognizes his assholery, and sits up. Grown up dude immediately throws his bag into the empty seat, saying "I NEED TO THROW MY BAG HERE."
3. Grown dude starts telling a companion about his recent travels, relating a story about how he was really rocking out to some music when the guy behind him asked him to please not rock out so hard because he was rattling his tray table and making eating/reading impossible. The guy's response was to ignore him and keep on rocking because, "Hey, I've got a life to live."
4. Grown dude then went on to talk about how there were so many Mexicans out there and that he really couldn't stand that.
5. Meanwhile, less blatantly racist women standing next to me talked about the pros and cons of various resorts in Mexico based on the response time of the "little men" who brought them drinks.
6. Train finally pulled into Addison and Grown Dude and his companions, who were standing in front of the door, refused to move to let people out. I let off some steam by telling him, "You are a fucking asshole" as I pushed past him to squeeze out of the door.

Then I bought beer and I am drinking it now.

wow.

I let off some steam by telling him, "You are a fucking asshole" as I pushed past him to squeeze out of the door.

I love you, Jenny!

That said, I wanted to kill myself after spending THREE HOURS getting home from the west side today. Instead of killing myself I will drink some wine and eat some dinner and try not to kill myself.

I saw a snow drift in the middle of the road on LSD that was taller than I am.

I just found out the reason things were so backed up when I left work was that the city closed LSD from 57th to 47th because of drifting.

I just read a student's paper where she tells the story of how she was speeding on the turnpike and got pulled over for doing 90 mph in a 60 mph zone. The cop asked her to roll down her window and her daughter poked her head over to the driver's side and puked all over him. Then he gave her five tickets. The end. Or so goes her story.

I have owned a car, and that was in the South, and when it snowed there I sometimes went for pleasure drives. What would *not* be fun would be to have to actually get somewhere by car on a day like today.

The 2 other pleasure drivers I know of also live in the South, they are Christian (Courtney's former not-so-significant other) and her brother. Oh, and my boss from the flower shop.

Anyway, it's a little adventure and it's really beautiful.

I knew Dan would be able to see it my way!

What I think is a much worse idea is the people I saw on bicycles on State St. and Wacker Drive. There was one guy on Wacker in front of Cathch slogging through drifts. It was after dark with taxis and buses swerving to avoid him since he there was pretty much no right lane and visibility was horrible.

DON'T BIKE, ASSBUTT!

I wouldn't last a day if I were one of the characters from Alive.

anyway, around addison some broad pushed passed me and called me an asshole. i'm pretty sure she was a dyke.

Do you mean because you thought Mexicans would be in Mexico?

Do you mean because you thought Mexicans would be in Mexico?
Exactly.

anyway, lost is on tonight. i should order a pizza.

So he's not in the mob then?

I forgot Lost is on tonight!

"We went to a Dennis event four years ago at Rivier
College in Nashua. He had a "warm up act" of these
two really geeky just-out-of-college types. They
claimed to be married. He was a human beat box/one
man band with some sort of electronic stuff taped to
him and she did interpretive dance. They called
themselves the Vibration Army. They wore regular
clothes with homemade tank tops on top of with a V
and an A in glittery material glued on them. It was
probably one of the top 5 funniest things I have ever
seen in my life. Note, that the crowd was probably
about 40 people."

Are you excited about being an aunt, Jenny?

I'm happy for them. That bro tends to get the cosmic shaft all the time so hopefully this will be a good happy thing in his life.
